I have worked many Baseball Camps in the past. The way most coaches run their baseball camp is the reason why I wanted to start my company to conduct baseball camp. A good run baseball camp is one that has limited down time. Baseball camp should be a fast pace baseball camp. The players should go from one station to another at a quick rate to allow the baseball camp to run smoothly. Many baseball camps fail b/c of these issues. Baseball Camps should also be a fun environment for the attending instructors. Many times at a Baseball Camps coaches that show up to the baseball camp and have no clue in which post to go to. A proper ran baseball clinic will have an easy schedule for each attending baseball camp instructor.
Baseball camp should be enjoyable for the parents as well to gain knowledge. Parents are the ones paying for the baseball clinic, and they should feel satisfied that their son received the best instruction and evaluation while at the baseball clinic. Baseball camps that I have worked at seem to forget about the parents. The baseball camp should have a set time to educate the parents in the recruiting process while at the baseball camp.
Running a baseball camp is not the easiest of tasks. Baseball camp needs to have a proper point man with a good personality. This is key b/c not only talking to parents and the kids, but making the employed instructors feel welcomed while at the baseball camp. The camp director at the baseball camp will have to show leadership skills and dignity at the baseball camp. Running a smooth baseball camp is a job many men have failed in the past. Baseball camps are the best way for coaches outside of an area to see scout regional kids.
Baseball camps are a memory many kids will walk away with. Baseball camps vs. baseball camp are an on going debate. Baseball camps that are run organized will rise to the top. Baseball clinics can be great baseball camp if all these factors apply.
